Howl are you doing? Hehe… Well, Halloween is only a couple of days away, so I am wrapping up October with two more cards. The first one was inspired by Amy Rysavy of Prairie Paper & Ink fame. She wrapped a piece of cardstock with Microspore tape for her puppy mummy card, so I could not resist to adapt my version.

I used Newton’s NookBoo Crew stamp set. I colored Winston with alcohol markers, fussy cut him out and mounted him on my microspore tape wrapped cardstock, this in turn was matted on DoodlebugBeetle Black cardstock. The base is made with DoodlebugOctober 31st patterned paper line (the line is so stinkin’ cute!)

Mummy Bear Card

The inside sentiment was stamped with a Sunsational StampsHappy Halloween set. The card base was made with DoodlebugGrass Green cardstock. I believe the ribbon was from K&Co…but I have had it for so long, I can’t be sure.

The second card was made using Stampin’ Up’sFrightening Feline stamp. I stamped it with Twisted CitronDistress Oxide ink onto black cardstock and clear heat embossed it. I was going for a bit of a fluorescent look.

Scaredy Cat Card

I created a shaker and framed the shaker window with Doodlebug patterned paper from the October 31st line. I used many embellishments from K&Co. The bottom of the card was created with a piece of gray cardstock that I embossed with a brick Sizzix folder and I distressed it randomly with Black Soot Distress Ink.

I hope today’s cards inspired you to scare up some of your scrappy stash and make something bootiful. Ok, I am done…I could not resist. Please follow our blog by clicking on the “Follow Me” button and Like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram so you don’t miss a thing!

Hello, today I created a wedding card for a friend/customer who needed a wedding card in grays and pearl white. I had a copy of the invitation, so I incorporated some elements from it into the card.

Wedding Card

I used one of my new Elizabeth Craft Designs dies and peel off gems. I used various flower dies and cut a combination of large and small flowers using Bazzill silver cardstock, vellum that has a beautiful tiny floral white on white pattern and a pearly embossed cardstock. I mixed and matched them and used little brads to hold the pieces together. I cut the leaves out of the silver cardstock using a Sizzix die I got on clearance for $1 🙂 Can you say “Awesomesauce”?!

Elements of the Wedding Card

The card base is medium gray American Crafts heavyweight cardstock, and the patterned paper on the base is Carta Bella from the Paris Girl line…not sure if that is retired or not, I have had it for a while, and I LOVE every pattern in this collection, so I use it sparingly. Needless to say, I am quite frugal with my supplies.

I did mat the patterned paper with black cardstock before mounting it on the card base. Finally I stamped a piece of the pearlized paper (which was also used for the ECDEntwined Circles) with a sentiment from Taylored Expressions, Lifetime of Love set. I scored this adorable set for just $5. I think it is still for sale on Taylor’s website for that price. I cut the monogram out with Kwik KutzEliza letter set that my wonderful daughter got me (brand new) from a garage sale. This episode is all about good deals. HA!
